What happened
Officers responded to reports of an armed robbery on Aug. 10 around 7 p.m. near Bellaire and Kirkwood.
After getting information on the suspect’s vehicle, officers located it and tried to pull the driver over, but he refused, leading police on a 15-minute chase throughout southwest Houston.
The suspect eventually stopped at a home in the 8800 block of Aspen Meadow Drive, where officers said he exited the vehicle armed with two guns.
Officers gave multiple verbal commands for the suspect to drop his weapon, but he refused. Multiple officers then fired their guns, fatally shooting the suspect.
No officers were injured in the incident.
The 34-year-old suspect has not been identified.
Investigators are looking into his possible involvement in other robberies.
